I made this for Christmas, and one of my guests said the carrots were “off the chain!” The flavor of the roasted carrots was amazing! The cheese was nicely crusted combined with the carrot and a little garlic! YUM! A nice change from the ordinary green veggie and still healthy!

Ingredients
1 pound carrots, peeled
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon garlic salt
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or more to taste
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Stir olive oil and garlic salt together in a small bowl; pour into a large resealable plastic bag. Add carrots to the plastic bag, seal, and shake to coat carrots completely in oil mixture. Arrange coated carrots onto the prepared baking sheet.
Roast carrots in preheated oven until crisp-tender, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese over carrots and continue roasting until cheese is lightly browned, 5 to 10 minutes. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese to serve, according to your taste.
Recipe Tips
The carrots can be cut into smaller pieces, or you can use baby carrots. Just remember to watch the cooking time, as it will be decreased due to carrot size.
This recipe can be made quicker by pre-cooking the carrots halfway, and then roasting for half the time.
